damage 2 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10

Lucrezia fires off a couple more arrows at the howler by Duncan. Is it too much to hope that these are the only damn creatures we encounter in here?

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Lucrezia the C10 howler is dead. You don't have a line of sight on the other Howlers form your current position.

RD3:

The two Howlers begin their full attack on the dwarf and the John:

Duncan:
bite H1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 102d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7
Quil att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The attacks miss the dwarf.

John:
bite H2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 242d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11
Quil att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

John is hit by bite and takes damage.

John will strike the Howler again.
Attack with PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Duncan attacks the Howler in D11

2 handed PA w/Silver Axe, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 18
2 hand PA, Divine Favor, Judgement: 1d8 - 1 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) - 1 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 18

His attack succeeds and kills the beast.

RD3 mid-round update

Howlers - the remaining howlers attack, one bite John. The other is died from Duncan.
Duncan - killed one Howler D11.
Lucrezia -(nothing is in sight)
Orsin
John - missed
Andrea

Orsin fires off another bolt of song, this time at the howler attacking John. I only need line of sight, not line of effect.

Devastating aria: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 divided by 2 = 4 sonic damage, no save.

Well pooh. Next time everyone is just going to have to back up and draw the things out in a nice line for me to aim at. :)

Lucrezia readies her shots, just in case something pops into her line of aim.

Orsin fires off another bolt of song, this time at the howler attacking John. I only need line of sight, not line of effect.

[dice=Devastating aria]1d4+5 divided by 2 = 4 sonic damage, no save.

You don't have that, the only one alive is in D9.

The current marching order really limits most actions, so I'm hoping into the next round to move this along.

Initiative:

Howler -miss
Duncan - hold
Lucrezia
Orsin
John
Andrea

RD4:

Howler on John:

bite H2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 232d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6
Quil att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 151d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The attacks miss John.

This really comes down to John versus the Howler.

Holds until she sees anything she can aim at.

Back from dinner, wow this moved along

Andrea pings John with the wand of CLW.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

John strikes the Howler again.
Attack with PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

That was my round 3 action to ping John. Round 4 is to again ping john since he is looking like a pincushion. :)

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

John's attack hits home.

Since the only person with that can attack the Howler is John, so I will fast forward. Andrea chime in if you are dinging heal spells.

John:

bite H2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 212d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8
Quil att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The beast misses.

Kaching!: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Attack with PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

The howler is hit once again.

John you need another reflex save, everything you hit it you take damage and need a save. Reflex DC14. Failure is sickened condition -2 att, dame, skills, abilities.

You take the following damage:

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

You actually need a Reflex Save for the last attack you made too that was successful (sorry about missing that)

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

RD6:

Howler;

John:

bite H2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 132d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14
Quil att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

It misses again.

Poor John. He's doing more damage to himself by hitting it than the beast is doing to him.

Poor John. He's doing more damage to himself by hitting it than the beast is doing to him.

That is the quill defense.

If he misses a reflex save there is potential removal damage too!

Andrea beats John about the head and shoulders with her wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Attack with PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

John make two move reflex saves. (I missed one earlier)

The howler will be down with this last attack.

Quil damage

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I'm going to need to upgrade to a better level of wand. Andrea glares at her underperforming stick.

Must get mind out of gutter an not make comment regarding Andrea's underperforming stick...

It is a very irritating stick. Perhaps if I shake it up and down something better will come out.

Just don't hold it near your face after shaking it...

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Reflex2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Don't worry John! I'll get that out of you!

heal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Andrea sucessfully dequills John with no more damage and touches John wih the wand one more time.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Thank you. I expect we will find more otherworldly creatures here, so everyone be careful."

Andrea gives some quills to Lucrezia so she can check them out for arrow crafting.

So we have three halls to check out. Perhaps Lucrezia can do a little stealth.

Been watching the sunday night football game with my husband. I learn a new rule everytime. Also, Ravens suck.

Perception if we continue 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Stealth to check things out if needed 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Lucrezia thanks Andrea for the quills. "I could take a peak down this nearest hallway, though it's hard to say what I might come across."

We'll be right behind you. ;)

I'll back ye up, if ye like

Duncan pats down the creatures bodies first, then moves to assist Lucrezia.

Perception1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Stealth1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

During the search you find books on the shelves are old and generally
focused on methods of torture (both as a medium for interrogation and a medium for entertainment. You need to spend time a little time looking at various books to get a better impression and understanding.

The Knot

How charming, we might be able to sell them at a Kuthite second hand shop.

Andrea follows along with the others.

That is somethin I wouldn't be part o lass. Ain't right t'be makin money that way.

Duncan casts detect magic and sweeps the room
Spellcraft on any magic item1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Just a little sarcasm from Andrea. :)

I believe there is a door down that way.

I'm willing to believe that a lot of sarcasm passes over Duncan's head. :)

"Great a door. Wonder what we will find behind this one? Perhaps a moonlit rose garden full of scantily clad nymphs?"

Lucrezia will advance to the front of the group to check out the door, wary of any traps that might be on it or in the hallway.

perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
disable device if needed 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Oh I sure hope so, I could use a snack after all of this, but the nymphs would no doubt turn out to be vampires.

"Are vampire nymphs even possible?"

They would no doubt also be ninja pirates.

"I fear the howlers may have driven you both crazy."

Orsin keeps his eyes peeled as he moves with the group, mirroring Duncan's decision to cast detect magic and he does so himself.

Spellcraft with detect magic: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Oof, maybe not.

Lucrezia shrugs. "It wouldn't have taken much after what we've already gone through."

We're in fer more trouble, don't ye doubt. Keep yer weapons ready.

Going to the zoo with family today. Bot me tactics.
Mooks- Max 1rd buff. Use john for shield wall.
BBEG- Nova buffs and go hard!

Duncan and Orsin the books themselves are not magical, no spellbooks or the like, although there are several nice books and there is clear value on the shelves.

Someone care to make an appraise and/or check when looking at the books.

Lucrezia you do not see any locks or traps on the door that you investigated.
